Answer:

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum differs from the rough endoplasmic reticulum in not having ribosomes on its surface. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) extends from the rough ER and forms a network of membrane tubules. The function of the smooth ER is to serve as a site for the synthesis of lipids, fatty acids, and steroids such as estrogens and testosterone.

Enzymes for the synthesis of these diverse biomolecules are present in smooth ER. The smooth ER present in the muscle cells is called the sarcoplasmic reticulum. It stores the calcium ions which are released into the sarcoplasm of muscle cells during muscle contraction.

Calix’s karyotype showed that he has a genotype of XXY. Explain how nondisjunction caused Calix to be XXY.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

A XY or XY gamete fuses with a normal gamete (X or Y)

Explanation:

Meiotic nondisjunction is the phenomenon whereby chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis I or II. Meiotic nondisjunction leads to the formation of abnormal gametes I.e. gametes with additional or missing chromosomal piece.

The fusion of these abnormal gametes produced by nondisijuction with a normal gamete (X or Y chromosome). This leads to a condition called ANEUPLOIDY, which is a chromosomal disorder. In the case od Calix, XXY is an ANEUPLOIDY state that could have resulted because there was a fusion between a XX gamete and Y gamete or XY and X. The XY or XX gametes are produced as a result of nondisijuction.

A constant used in an equation for gravity is 0.0000000000667. What is theis represented as a number in proper scientific notati
xxTIMURxx [149]

The correct answer is - C) 667 x 10-13.

The constant that is used in the equation for gravity, or rather gravitational pull, is 0.0000000000667. This same number, in proper scientific notation goes in the shape of 667 x 10-13.

The reason for that is very simple. Any number multiplied with 10-13 will give the exact same number, but as the last part of 13 decimal number. The -13 part dictates the number of decimals. So in the case of 0.0000000000667, the last part 667 is the number that is multiplied, but because the multiplying is in minus, the number goes on the back of the number. Since it has three numbers in it, ten zeros are added in front of it, in order to get the 13 decimals.
